I'm always interested to know the tried and tested products that people go back to again and again. Things that I buy repeatedly are:

Avene Soapless Gel Cleanser
Estée Lauder Daywear Bb cream
Estée Lauder Doublewear Concealer
Nars Velvet Matt lip pencil in Dolce Vita
Clinique Even Better Foundation
Body Shop Shea Butter Shower Cream
Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream
Boot Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Cleanser/Toner

I am still looking for a holy grail light moisturiser that won't break me out. Am currently trying Clinique Moisture Surge which seems to be doing the trick. No spots yet...

I'all use whatever looks nice with make up but,skin I always use
Elemis Pro Radiance Cream Cleanser
Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream Ultra Rich
Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel (once every ten days or so)

I'm not at all influenced by brands,I had the cream and peel as samples in magazines and the cleanser came with the peel once on an offer but I can honestly say they are amazing so I've gone back again and again!

I’ve just realised that until recently I’ve never bought the same product twice! Beginning of the year I started using Deciem products and haven’t looked back and have repurchased every time I’ve run out. My skin has never looked so good.
